    Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18 setup doesn't launch


    Hello,I've been trying to install Microsoft SSMS SQL Server Management Studio onto my computer and the installer doesn't appear when I double-click it. I have tried running the program as administrator, and also restarted my computer. I have also tried installing it via the command-line based on the instructions listed here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-ver15#download-ssms and haven't been successful. I am on Windows 10 Pro build 19044.There are no error messages that appear on the screen, I just try to launch the p

    Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18 fails to start after installing XAMPP/MAMP on Windows 10

    When I try to launch SQL Server Management Studio 18, I get a Windows chime and no other response or error messages. Initially, after installing SSMS 18 and SQL Server 17, both worked fine for a day until I installed XAMPP when the issues started.

    The following did not work:

    • Repairing installation
    • Uninstalling & reinstalling
    • Deleting 18.0 (version) folders from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server using Regedit.exe

    I eventually got it working again after uninstalling XAMPP, then uninstalling and reinstalling SSMS and SQL Server, but as soon as I installed MAMP as an alternative the same problem arose again.

    The state of the MAMP/XAMPP server processes seems to have no influence on the problem. It is purely related to the fact that local server environment was installed. Surely if this is due to a port or a .NET issue, there should give me an appropriate error msg instead of the non-descript chime.

    Any help will be appreciated as I have trawled the forums to no avail and need to host a testing environment on my machine.

    EDIT:
    I found the following, which I suspect relates to the same problem:
    Page Not Found

    This has supposedly been fixed in SSMS 18.1. I added the interim Microsoft workaround for SSMS 18.0 in the answer below.
